Grazed

I give to you a story in eleventy-one words... (Click on the 'Loose Grate' label to read the entire story)
The giant scooped up the fat one into his enormous hands as the beast launched from the ground. It opened its jaws much like an alligator and aimed for the fat one. But once it opened its jaws, it could no longer see the target, a minor evolutionary disadvantage for the otherwise deadly creature. The giant turned its back, shielding the fat one. The beast missed the intended target. But its transparent teeth grazed the giant’s arm, drawing blood. The beast landed on its feet, swiveled, readied to attack again. It made the motion to pounce but fell down dead instead. Beside the expired beast, the tall one sheathed his stick.
